Photographer's Note

September 7th is the Brazilian Independence Day and this is a post to celebrate it! The starfish was captured in Fiji, but the colours are just Brazilian!

I´ve captured this starfish diving in the beautiful reefs in the wonderful Fijian island of Namenalala, North group of the Fijian paradise.
Namenalala is an little island where there are just 6 bures to 12 lucky guests. No energy! But there is nothing so nice compared to candlelights in a South Pacific Island... believe me!
So, cheers to Brazil and to Fiji, of course!

An original qnd amazing composition with incredible colors. Sub-aquatic pictures are quite scarce on TE even if they can be very interesting. You managed here to show the superb graphism of the scene with its flashing colors and I like the way you use that to celebrate the Indep. Day in your country.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jose,
You are an excellent underwater photographer and that compo is just wonderful...Good association to the Brazilian flag with great details and bright colors...well done...
Have a nice day,
Marilyn

Hello Jose.
A veruy wonderful composition. The arms of the starfish create perfect angles for ones eyes to explore the photo. THe colors, of course, are fantastic. Great detail and excellent framing.
Best wishes,
Chris

Another very nice underwatershot. Where those the real colours ? Or is it partially post-processing work?
I love that contrast between these colours. The picture is so sharp, keep on posting more shots like these, incredible!
